Feeding your body certain foods may help keep your immune system strong.

Vitamin C is thought to increase the production of white blood cells, which are key to fighting infections. Popular citrus fruits include grapefruit , oranges , lemons, limes. Because your body doesn’t produce or store it , you need daily Vitamins C for continued health.
2. Red bell peppers:- If you think citrus fruits have the most vitamin C of any fruit or vegetable, think again .gram for grams , red bell peppers contain almost 3 times as much vitamin C .They’re also a rich source of beta carotene. Besides boosting your immune system, vitamin C may help you maintain healthy skin . Beta carotene, which your body converts into vitamin A, helps keep your eyes and skin healthy.
3. Broccoli :- Broccoli is supercharged with vitamins and minerals. Packed with vitamin A , C and E as well as fiber and many other antioxidants, broccoli is one of the healthiest vegetables you can put on your plate.
